WASHINGTON — The Trump administration, which already canceled a grant for a group that fights white supremacist terror, now appears unwilling to renew the anti-domestic terror program under which it was funded, despite recent high-profile attacks like the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting and data showing a spike in attacks on religious minorities.

The Obama administration launched the Countering Violent Extremism Grant Program in 2016 to fight domestic terrorism. Managed by the Department of Homeland Security, the program was given $10 million to distribute.

In the last days of the Obama administration, DHS awarded the money to more than two dozen groups around the country to counter violent extremism of all kinds, including right-wing extremism. Data from the Global Terrorism Database shows there was a spike in attacks on American religious organizations in 2016-17.

...

Bryan Tuma, the assistant director of the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency who oversaw one of the terrorism prevention grants, says it's his understanding "there has been no new funding specific to combating violent extremism available through DHS." Tuma's agency is using the funds they received last year to develop threat assessment tools so that public health agencies and schools can better detect signs of extremism.

...

Braniff says while some of the new approaches are untested, they're worth the investment. "We spend $100 billion on counterterrorism without any effectiveness data, so the critique that we cannot invest $10 million on new approaches because we do not yet know what works is flawed."

2. Trump wanted the white domestic terrorism. End of story

You do not start your campaign in front of a group of paid supporters talking about
Mexicans being rapists, murderers, and drug dealers and not be playing to white
power groups.

You do not call refugees fleeing ISIS as terrorists and that we should be afraid of them.

You do not use the language of Hitler and the Nazis talking about black neighborhoods as
being vermin and rat infested places where no decent human wants to live and not be
playing to racists.

You don't say that good people come from Norway and that Africans are from shit hole
countries and not be fanning the flames for a race war.


You don't have Kavanaugh's associate sit behind him @ his hearing and flash a white
power sign w/out playing to white power groups.

As President you don't go to Lebanon, OH in Oct. 2018 which is the home area of the KKK
in OH (several of the people arrested @ Charlottesville were from the area or had connections
to the area) and praise "Good ol' Gen. Bobby Lee" and not know what you are doing.
